KTM Shipping

About KTM Shipping

Our company was established in Kopervik May 6th 1981, named Karmoyterminalen as, and later changed to KTM shipping as.From the very beginning we acted as Liner agents, serving the Norwegian coast. By the time running, our agencies expanded to cover the whole North Sea area, as well as a growing forwarding activity.

With bigger vessels in the liner services, the port facilities in Kopervik were not suitable enough. We therefore decided to move our terminal facilities to the new Karmsund Industrihavn at Husoy, which is about 8 km north of Kopervik, and about 7 km south of Haugesund. Moving were effected October 2000. This new port is cotiniously being built, and will be the future main port covering the Haugaland district.

Our terminal facilities are located in an area with steady growing industry. Here the fishing industry is concentrated, and our terminal is next door to Koralfisk.
At our disposal we have a total area of 5.500 sq.m., covering a warehouse of 1.000 sq.m, and a depot for containers, whereof 40 electrical plugs for reefer containers.

We are acting as clearance agents all over Haugesund and Karmøy area. Due to close geographic to Hydro Aluminium, they have appointed us as preferred agents. This means clearance of liner and chartered tonnage.

We have our own equipment for local distribution. These are drag and pull, semi- trailers, as well as lorry with lifting capacity.
All equipment with container locks for all standard sizes.

Also we have a special low semi trailer with capacity of 33 tons, and an 8 metres tilt trailer, and a tug master with mafi trailers, capacity of 50 tons each for use within the port area.
